Round 1 is here with our 2023 campaign beginning tomorrow night across the ditch against the Warriors.
Listen in as your co-hosts Mat and Jae preview Round 1 and choose their all-time Knights on the KNIGHTS // HQ Podcast.
Our own greatest Knights team of all time
The boys also discuss Crokes’ journey from NSW Cup to his NRL debut in Round 13, 2021.
He received the call up from AOB; racing against the clock from his job site in Cessnock with just 13 minutes to spare. Listen on Apple or Spotify.
"I went into shock but I knew I had to get it done, I had to go sign this contract...I'm in the middle of Cessnock working on an excavator by myself," Croker said on the KNIGHTS // HQ Podcast.
"So I'm running around Bunnings, trying to find this caution tape couldn't find it anywhere and at the same time I'm trying to create my personal NRL profile. I was freaking out."
With the competition around the corner, the boys reflect on the Trial games, discussing the formation of the four-man spine between KP, Miller, Hastings and Brailey.
Plus, listen in as Crokes is put to the ultimate test, recalling all Clive Churchill Winners from the top of his head.
We finish with a healthy debate on our all-time Knights side, in our opinion, including Robbie O’Davis at Fullback, Akuila Uate and ‘Mad Dog’ Adam MacDougall on the wing. Listen in to hear the rest of the team.
